  • Publication number: 20240145436
    Abstract: Composite dielectric structures for semiconductor die assemblies, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the composite dielectric structure includes a flexible dielectric layer configured to conform to irregularities (e.g., particles, defects) at a bonding interface of directly bonded semiconductor dies (or wafers). The flexible dielectric layer may include a polymer material configured to deform in response to localized pressure generated by the irregularities during bonding process steps. The composite dielectric structure includes additional dielectric layers sandwiching the flexible dielectric layer such that the composite dielectric structure can provide robust bonding strength to other dielectric layers through the additional dielectric layers. In some embodiments, a chemical vapor deposition process may be used to form the composite dielectric structure utilizing siloxane derivatives as a precursor.

  • Patent number: 7566145
    Abstract: A direct type illuminating device includes a light source unit, a reflector plate, a diffuser plate, and a lens module. The light source unit provides source light beams. The reflector plate and the diffuser plate are spaced at an interval from each other, and the light source unit is interposed between the reflector plate and the diffuser plate. The lens module surrounds the light source unit such that the lens module is interposed between the light source unit and the reflector and diffuser plates. An outer curved surface of the lens module has a radius of curvature different from a radius of curvature of an outer curved surface of the light source unit such that the source light beams provided by the light source unit are refracted by the lens module to result in change of traveling directions of the source light beams.

  • Patent number: 7438445
    Abstract: A side-emitting light-emitting element and a packaging lens thereof, wherein the packaging lens comprises an incident surface, a reflective surface, a first refractive surface, and a second refractive surface. The first refractive surface has zigzag surfaces. After a light from a light source enters into the packaging lens through the incident surface, a portion of the light is reflected by the reflective surface to the first refractive surface via total internal reflection to vertically penetrate the first refractive surface and then proceeds along a first optical path. The other portion of the light is refracted by the second refractive surface to penetrate the second refractive surface and then proceeds along a second optical path, which is parallel to the first optical path. A zigzag surface of the first refractive surface avoids from undesired lights reflected by the first refractive surface.

  • Publication number: 20080056265
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for differentiating pseudowire (PW) packets from multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) packets. It uses particular time-to-live (TTL) values to differentiate PW packets from MPLS packets, thereby to create additional label spaces and to maximize the total number of PWs and label switching paths that can be simultaneously in use. At an ingress PW device, when an incoming packet is encapsulated into a PW packet, the TTL field of the corresponding PW header is set to one of particular values. At an egress MPLS device, after a packet is received, the value of the TTL field of its MPLS header is compared with these particular values. If the TTL value is equal to one of particular values, this packet is a PW packet and belongs to the PW label space of the particular value.
